Peyton Manning Wins Fourth MVP on Road to Immortality

Former Tennessee Vol Peyton Manning has been named the Most Valuable Player for a record fourth time. And he hardly played the last two games of the season!

At this point he makes winning the award look as hard as a 4th quarter game-winning drive. The dude is super crazy at being good and deserves the award [even though we are very biased toward him].

The MVP comes after a 14-0 start to the season in which the Indianapolis Colts had 7 comeback victories. To prove how good of a season Peyton had this year we look at a home game against Houston in which injuries decimated the receiving corp so much that at one point the Colts were forced to used a peanut vendor named Jack in their lineup while Reggie Wayne was being tapped up.

The didn’t even bother to suit Jack up, either. He was out there in his paper hat and holding his plastic tray of peanuts strapped around his neck and he still caught 3 passes for 27 yards.

True story. That’s how good Peyton is. He makes his whole team that much better.

[via ESPN] Maybe the award should be renamed Most Valuable Peyton.

Peyton Manning became the first player to win The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player honor four times. The Indianapolis Colts’ sensational quarterback romped to the award Saturday in balloting by 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league.

He received 39½ votes to 7½ for Drew Brees of New Orleans. Only four players — all quarterbacks — earned votes. The other two were Philip Rivers of San Diego (2) and Brett Favre of Minnesota (1).
